MSFS Application Error - memory could not be read

Hi.. thanks for coods.. little hope was that we get a location where this allways happens :slight_smile:

Had the error for the first time today. I haven’t changed anything in the past few days. The error occurred in the fenix a320 100 feet before landing on 25L at EDDB.

Hi All,

Wanted to highlight I also have been getting this memory error and subsequent CTD

It started for me the first time I ran the application LITTLENAVMAP, alongside MSFS while parked at the gate, LNM is a fantastic program and its free, not saying this is the cause as MSFS has still CTD with the same issue without LNM Running afterwards.

I am a bit lost, as ive just purchased the PMDG 737800, I have tried 3 flights from EGKK Gatwick to EIDW Dublin with the PMDG and the Memory Fault appears every time I turn in Left towards the final approch for 28L on the approach, its happened in the same spot 3 times.

Really frustrating

Update: Just tried exactly the same flight just without the live weather on, turning onto final 28L at EIDW Dublin, and this time there was no error appearance, only a sudden loss of sound, then CTD.

Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Coreā„¢ i7-11370H @ 3.30GHz, 3302 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
I have 24GB RAM

Dissapointed to say the least

here I have some notes: did you have a three RAM stick setup ? Beside of possible issues in general with such setups - are all RAM sticks of same kind ? And in case you use XMP in this configuration, did you tried already without xmp profiles ?
If you get a normal CTD ( and so far I know also in case of the error popup is shown ) there is a error message logged which you can see within the windows event viewer. Are both errors the same ( with and without the popup ) ?

Hi Thanks for the reply,

The RAM is crucial, not sure if its the same as what was built in to the machine, I am not the most proficient when it comes to the computer setup or checking it all, I will do some research and see what my RAM is, but when I bought it, it was the same coding if that makes sense as what I already has so they could run alongside each other, but yes I believe it is a 3 stick RAM SETUP as I believe I started with 8GB and purchased a 16GB expansion stick which my Laptop has a spare slot for.

If that makes sense ?

Thank you

it can work, but can also make trouble.. I remember a case here with similar setup and enabled xmp mode that worked not fine for the user. Its a guess, by may be worth to try.
What also happen, one channel works in dual-channel-mode, the other not. So, its also not best setup performance wise. But as I read ā€œLaptopā€ : some of the Laptops are bit special, so again its a bit of guess in my sentence :slight_smile: . A simple test can be, to remove the third stick for a test-run.

Perhaps I could try removing the RAM for a Test, but I dread the lag that would happen with the PMDG loaded in, all this being said, I am currently 2hrs into another flight with the PMDG 737-800 EGKK - EPKK, and all seems ok at present, famous last words :smile:

I had a look at the event viewer and there is 1000s of errors and warnings built up over months, if this crashes again I will have a look and see what it says, but from what I can make out there seems to be a lot of the error codes with the number 1010, dont ask me what this means I would not know.

usually only the red-ones are important :slight_smile:

the yellow ones are often some kind of dcom ( 10016 ) error , etc.. and often not important. About the 1010 I’am currently not sure, can have different reasons.

Just out of interest, what is the XMP Mode you mentioned earlier in the feed?

So weird, just completed a 3 and half hour flight no issues, this is random :slight_smile:

XMP mode are profiles for RAM which made OC easier.. A manufactor store these profiles ā€œintoā€ the RAM itself and you can activate it , and in case your mainboard and CPU can handle it too, you get the full potential of the RAM. But as mentioned, laptops can do ā€œit own thingā€, it depends on laptop model.
And yes, the randomness makes it not easy and RAM is only one possible reason.

Thanks, but Ill probably leave well alone and wait to see if there is a fix or update soon that rectifies the issue.

Just thought I would highlight my flight to Dublin tonight, yet again on the turn onto final rwy 28L the sim crashed out, there has to be something broken, this is the 5th flight I have tried to Dublin, and it happens in exactly the same place each time. I completed 3 and half hour flights from EGKK - EPKK with no issues, it cant be my RAM set up. I also noticed this feed is pretty quiet, does anyone have any news on this memory CTD situation? Thanks

Apparently several people are having CTDs specifically at EIDW for some inexplicable reason.

Thats interesting! and gives me some hope! thanks

Just out of interest, is there there a different thread on the same subject, which states any progress, I’ve been looking but with so many threads it’s difficult finding the right ones, working in-between so get lots of time.

I also wondered about the flight I tried to Dublin from Gatwick, when I checked the data in little nav map compared to the sids and stars in the pmdg FMC, they are different, not identical, for instance the data in little nav map is from MSFS, the ARR data in PMDG 737 is different, could this be a reason for CTD I’m just wondering, as the flight from Gatwick to Krakow, everything matched,?

there is a post about Dublin and CTD for me deleting the PIOS ( UK Points of Interest)helped since then no more CTD

Currently I am using pc and have an Xbox pass which allows me access to MSFS, have not purchased yet, should do as it will cost me more in long run, and where’s poi in PMDG

Should I go steam or or stay with Microsoft store that’s another question for me, when I decide to purchase anyone have any tips ?
